Just a couple of comments regarding 'Emergency Call-outs':

 

1. Often they're not that much of an emergency and could wait until daytime when it is generally much safer to work, i.e in natural daylight and afetr a good nights sleep.

2. Only do them IF a real emergency exists (difficult I know as someone else is liekly to determine this) AND let Highways or Police do the TM rather than, very conveniently passing the whole situation over to you.

3. Use only expereinced, and the most competent, staff for this work and they should at least hold their single windlblow ticket and idealy multiple.

4. PLEASE be careful (as I mentioned given the points in 1. above you're far more likley to have an accident.)

 

Thanks n I'll let you get back to the point.

 

Cheers..
